The Women’s Studies Program offers students an interdisciplinary approach to the study of women and of gender issues. Courses reflect new scholarship on women’s lives, their contribution to literature, art and society, their changing roles, and the diversity of their experiences as shaped by issues of gender, race, class, and ethnicity.

Most of the courses are cross-listed in other disciplines such as Art History, Communication, Criminal Justice, English, Health and Physical Education, History, Philosophy, Psychology, Public Administration, and Sociology. As such, almost all of the Women’s Studies courses also count toward the fulfillment of other minor, major, and general education requirements. This allows students to concurrently pursue both their major degree and the interdisciplinary Minor in Women’s Studies.
